Bipolar Empire

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorWe're Bipolar Empire a three piece band from tallaght in Dublin. We formed in 2007 and have been playing in pubs and venues in Ireland since. In January 2009 we got to travel to Los Angeles to record with legendary irish producer Pat McCarthy. Taking almost nine weeks to record we spent most of our time in the studio working. We managed to make the trip down to South by Southwest in Austin Texas and got to play in the great blues venue the Continental club on two seperate dates. We also got to play venues like the Whisky a Go Go on sunset boulevard and the Kibitz room every Friday we were in L.A. We are Rock n roll band with a hint of Jazz a hint of soul and an inch of Gospel/Blues. Our live show is what we do best. Our songs are songs of hope and uplift. What you see is what you get, no bullshit.. MyGen Profile Generator
